The Power of A Mother's Love

"...Soldier, statesman, scholar, divine; every man is a child to his mother, to the last; and it is the best that is in a man that keeps him always in this childlikeness toward his loving mother. Were it not for the power of a mother's love, that best and truest side of a man's nature would never be developed, for the man's good and for the mother's reward. It costs something to be a good mother; but there is no reward which earth can give to be compared with that love which a faithful mother wins and holds from the son of her love. Oh! if good mothers could only know how much they are doing for their children by their patient, long-suffering, gentle ways with them, and how sure these children are to see and feel this by and by, the saddest of them would be less sad and more hopeful, while toiling and enduring so faithfully, with perhaps apparently so slight a return."

About Me

Mother of three-two girls and a boy, whom I am privileged to stay home with. I am married to a gorgeous, wonderful husband of 14 years,who is a Family Life Ministries Director. We live in Indiana. I homeschool my children, and love it most of the time! I do a little photography on the side, when I can fit it in! My desire is to serve the Lord, whether it be in my home, or in my photography. I'm thankful for His daily grace.

The Chosen Foolish

"..but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God...so that, just as it is written, LET HIM WHO BOASTS BOAST IN THE LORD. " 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
